10/10 Exceptional

Booked for a last minute weekend that also had to be pet friendly and luckily we found The Waterfront. The room itself was clean & spacious with a great view (ensuite was small but they warn you about that) and breakfast was one the nicest I've had in a hotel. As for the staff, they were so friendly and helpful especially when we checked in late.

Stay was excellent. Great service, great food, great staff - very friendly. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment - a working progress. The room was cosy and the bed very comfortable, a little tired in the ensuite, sea view more than made up for this - what’s not to like. Excellent value for money. Will return. 😊

Bedroom clean & bed very comfortable,view was great (Room 5) on top floor overlooking the harbour. Staying for 2 nights. Had meal on 1st night and was very good. Fish and chips and steak pie. Beer garden on first night was very pleasant not so good next day (cold and windy) breakfast was delicious and friendly service from young lady. Compliments to all the staff for friendly service. Shower room on the small side.

2/10 Poor

Do not stay here
Checking in. Reception area and foyer were a mess, boxes everywhere, untidy. Not a welcoming site. Room. Not been serviced correctly after the last occupants. No toilet roll or tea! Furniture in the room is old and needs replacing, it felt very tired. En-suite bathroom - a more fitting description would be a cupboard with additions. It measured 2m by 80cm, cosy is not the word to describe it. It does say small on the hotels website, but this is tiny! Carpet on the stairs would appear to be new, and it looks like some decoration of the walls is taking place, i hope they have not paid to have this done as it is appalling. . At our first breakfast we were asked if we needed new towels,which we did not. However we left the 'please service room' sign on the door to get clean cups, teabags,milk and have the bed made up. It was not done. At breakfast the following morning we asked for the room to be serviced, towels and the works. Left the sign on the door again, when we got back from a long day out it had not been done. We went to reception and had to ask for towels, cups, tea and milk. The apology was a throw away 'sorry about that' and the staff sitting the bar did not seem to care less. The pictures of the hotel on its own website and on hotels.com do not represent the hotel as it is now. They appear to be from 2018, when i would suggest the ownership was different to what it is now. It needs updating. Breakfast OK, but ask for bacon to be grilled.

Do not stay for a quiet break
Door did not close unless locked as it had been smashed in along with the front door to the building, didn't feel safe. Very drunken guest in and out of their bathroom (with loud friends trying to keep them safe) outside our door, crying shouting being sick etc, this was throughout the night. No way of calling reception in room so couldn't notify anyone. Room run down, window didn't open etc. Breakfast and staff were good though

We had a lovely nights stay here. It’s in a great location. The only negative was that I had booked a table for 8 through hotels.com and when we got there the booking wasn’t there even though we had an email to confirm. Luckily we managed to get a table so all was ok in the end .

Short break
The hotel was clean. Service was friendly and good. Dinner was good as was breakfast. Room 6 is a cozy small room with nice sea views. Although the bathroom is a bit small.we had only booked one night,but it would be ok for a longer break
